was it kevin brock we signed with a bad back and he never played. this is years ago so i may well be wrong.

He scored 3 goals though.. Must have been a higher goal per game ratio than Scott Partridge! haha

I always rated Braniff. He was certainly better than all the other strikers we had at that particular time. His goals won us games against Grimsby and Cheltenham i think.

Bevin Krock you mean? :lol: Only played in an Andy LLoyd testimonial match at Bedford Town.

Gary Mulligan was a similar period I think, and I rated him as well.

I think that both Braniff and Mulligan, for all their effort and pedigree, fell into the 'couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo' category and were in a team that was quickly on the slide after relegation from League 1 under Tippett/Hunter. Another more recent striker who fell into this category was Lee Phillips.

I didn't really like Braniff but I liked Mulligan, who worked very hard, it was just unfortunate that we were shit and couldn't create sufficient chances for them.

Also involved with Broughton, during his first stench with the club

I know there was a bad taste in the mouth when he left but must have missed the smell :mrgreen:
